Ma Jaya's memoir leads us through her adventurous childhood in Coney Island, her awakening as a spiritual guru, and her life of fearless love and devotion. “With this book, I give you my history, primitive as it is, my history of learning how to live in a world that is filled with so much hate and at the same moment filled with so much beauty and love. “There is a sacred river in India, and everyone who comes toward her is blessed. My wish was that I could always be like that river. I wanted only to reach out arms to hold and hands to touch. Now when there is so much pain in the world, the whole river is in my heart, and the river has overflowed its banks.”
